 Taken from across the street at full zoom (I think). I was trying to get the guy with the long face and ringlets. Everything else just happened to be there: the propane, the sailing masts, the guy's skateboard and pack, and yes, the cigarette and I cannot tell if it is lit or waiting to be lit no matter what I do with my 4 mp photo! On the other hand, I didn't hear any explosions. (Maybe tomorrow I will get a photo with no signage and no danger!)

No crop, convert to bw, minor gamma tweaks, sharpening.

Yes, you've gotta love the lit cigarette right next to the no smoking sign. Of course, maybe it's not signed on the other side, and they really had no clue they were in imminent danger. What I really like are the hanging baskets of floral things. Not exactly the kind of place you'd see a hanging basket of floral things...

Well framed in camera - world of adolescents contrasting with the world of adults - teens with skate boards and lit smokes in dangerous places - propane tanks and sail boats - well processed - interesting - many stories to tell oneself.

two kids trying to be cool - very funny how goofy some kids look while trying to look a part they do not really fit into

They're engrossed in something other than safety that's for sure. Like the b&w, nicely seen and processed.

Yup, this looks like trouble. Excellent in black and white, and I like the mid key processing. Lots to look at here too, thanks to the crisp focus.

Lots to look at here and there is certainly a good story in this pic.

I may have titled this "G"... that's the first thing I look at. Then I see that hair and I'm glad I never did that... haha. Great shot of these very interesting young men.

That cigarette is most DEFIANTLY lit :) This could be a no smoking campaign poster LOL You captured this very well. I like the treatment given to it. I would like to see a bit more contrast out of your PP, but it is okay the way it is. I like how the guy in the back's hat says G. hahhahhahahha :)
